The ultimate anti-pirate weapon:

Pirate: "Surrender your cargo and your craft will be spared"
Trader: "Negative"
Pirate: *Fires, damages craft* "SURRENDER NOW!"
TRader: "FINE! You want the cargo here!" *fires cargo at Pirate, Pirate explodes from damage taken physically*

It's not really useful but i thought it might be kind of cool if you could get a weapon that would shoot cargo pods. maybe have them go out in a poof or something. I just thought it'd be kinda cool to mess around with for maybe one update. :)

/me wants.

ME WANTS IT IT SOUND GOOD AND FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
